At random times, my internet will "drop" connection and will not download any packets, but I am still able to send packets. My Local Area Connection icon continues to say I am connected, my modem is fully functional, and my cables are good. I can get my internet back up and running for 10 minutes or so by disable and re-enabling my Network Connection. If I simply try the "repair", it gives me an error at the "Refreshing IP" step.

I have done a full system scan for viruses and I am clean. My drivers are fully updated, I have disabled my firewalls, and still no help. During the times when it is down, I can successfully ping my modem through CMD, but I get the time-out error if I ping a site, my default gateway, the DHCP Server, or the DMS Servers.

I have made no changes to any major settings on my computer, nor has there been any recent additions/removals of any software.

I have already contacted my ISP and they said that nothing is wrong on their end since the signal is arriving uninterrupted to my router. The router is also fine and restarting it manually has not fixed this problem either.

There is no evidence of any router there. In both cases you have a public IP configuration, as if connected directly to a modem. The modem is connected to a router LAN port instead of the WAN port, the router is in some kind of bypass or AP mode, or the router is defective. If the latter, that could also explain the service interruptions.
